If you need a HIPAA expert, you've come to the right place. Healthcare leaders, business owners, attorneys and more all depend on my experience and knowledge. I provide expert information and services on HIPAA compliance issues; enforcement actions, training; and legal threats.

Technology HIPAA Consulting

Breach Response Consulting

Telephone Consulting

Need an hour on the phone with a real HIPAA expert? ...or a block of hours of telephone consultation? This is a basic service I provide, and telephone consultation can include a written report summarizing our call(s), if you require. All calls and information discussed are completely confidential. My consulting services are safe for startups and developing firms in 'stealth mode' or in later business development stages.

HIPAA Legal Case Consulting

I have been involved as a HIPAA expert in numerous HIPAA-related legal cases in multiple states, and my testimony (written and oral) has been instrumental in those cases. My work in such cases has been in support of both the plaintiff and the defense, in different cases of course, and has ranged from an indirect, arms-length, advisory role, to direct, day-to-day involvement with the prosecution or defense.

New Project or Existing Business Analysis

If you need to know how HIPAA impacts your new or existing business model, schedule a Business Analysis project and find out the facts. I routinely assist new and existing businesses with determining exactly how HIPAA affects new business services and products, as well as existing and evolving products and services. I have extensive experience with medical device firms, mobile device makers, healthcare app developers, pharmaceutical firms, and data processing firms such as ISPs, cloud computing vendors, and data security vendors.

Custom Training for Major Call Center

When a top-5 healthcare communications company, with offices in 21 countries, needed to launch a new inbound call-center for a major medical device maker, they called on Abner Weintraub. Abner developed customized training for project principles and staff, helped assess project risk, and made process and technology recommendations to ensure a smooth rollout.

Management Consulting and Project Guidance

A major audiology and hearing-loss website wanted to expand operations beyond just providing information to consumers. With Mr. Weintraub's expert assistance, they launched a transactional system that connects patients to providers in a seamless, secure environment where all parties enjoy important benefits. Abner helped senior management understand HIPAA's impact on the new project and how to minimize privacy and security related risk without sacrificing functionality.

HIPAA Business Expansion Analysis

When one of America's largest onsite (workplace) healthcare companies needed to understand the HIPAA related aspects of an aggressive corporate expansion program, they engaged Mr. Weintraub to clarify the situation. Abner prepared technical and management presentations, supporting documents, and trained a group of senior managers and clinicians in a live session at the client's national management conference.
